Make a plan to vote!

Elections aren’t about the candidates. They’re about you. That means YOU have a personal stake in every election. Make sure you're ready to VOTE using this easy checklist to make a plan to vote!

Make sure you're registered to vote and update information if needed.  Click to visit Maryland's Online Voter Registration system to verify your status, or register to vote.
NOTE: Advanced Registration is closed 21 days prior to an election. Miss the deadline? Same-day Registration is available during Early Voting and on Election Day. Same-day Address Changes are available during Early Voting, but NOT on Election Day.

Decide how to vote! You can request a mail-in ballot or choose to be put on the permanent mail-in ballot list. You can mail your ballot back to us in the postage-paid return envelope, or you can use one of our convenient drop boxes. Ballots must be placed in a drop box or postmarked by 8 pm on Election Day. 

You can vote at an Early Voting Center. Early Voting locations are open 7 am-8 pm, daily. 

You can vote on Election Day. You must vote at your assigned polling place. Polls are open from 7 am - 8 pm.  
     
HINT: Early Voting sites and polling places are often busier first thing in the morning and in the later afternoon, so you may want to vote between 10 am and 3 pm.

VOTE! Now that you've made your plan, go vote!
